CHICAGO, Fob. 2S.--A npecial from
Miles City, Montana. Says: Last fall a
young buck broke into the postolllce al
Ashland, about 90 miles south Of Miles
City and had not been arreated, although
complaint was made, until last week when
a warrant waa placed in the hands OF the
deputy sheriff whom tho United States
Marshal had commissioned to mako the
arrest. Proceeding to the agency the
deputy and an aaeistant identified their
man, arrested him and set ont for Miles
City. When about fifty miles from tho
agency band OF Cheyennes rode inrions.
ly up and with guns drawn and threaten.
Ing gestures forced tho deputy to give up
the prisoner. lsv a6ls'.
The band OF Cheyennes numbered about
20 and meant mischief. Tho deputy re.
turned to Miles City Saturday night and
will take q reinforcement for his posse
and return 70 the a2ency as soon as posi-
Bile and endeavor to recapture the rescued
prisoner as well as take into custody the
membera Of the war party. This Is the
samo tribe with whom 60 much trouble
was anticipated early las. September.
Three companies Of soldiers were cent
there from Fort Keogh at that time to
hold them in check.
The action Of the officers in turning
their man loose without bloodshed Is a
subject Of commentator as one Indian
killed might have resulted in Wholesale
slaughter Of white settlers who are distri-
buted through that locality near the upper
Tongue river valley.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 2s.-In the
Senate to-day the House labor arbitration
bill was taken up, Mr.. Teller without
objccting to the bill made a brief argu-
ment upon the inutility OF labor combina-
tious. Mr.. Sherman said he favored the
formation OF commission to inquire into
the whole labor question, and devise rem
edies for any evils which might be found
to exist, but as any attempt to amend the
bill now would probably result in It's de-
feat he would withdraw the amendment
which be had previously offered. The
bill was passed without divinion. b
The bill to prevent the employment Of
convict OF alien labor upon public build.
ings, or public works, or in the pyepara-
ton of materiala for public buildings or
public works, was taken up and without
diecussion or amendment was passed.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, Feb. 2S.-The las,
Of tho INrELLloESuER's aesiea OF predic'
tions has proven true. When "W. S. F.

Gov. Wilson's choice for Senator, there
wero many who refused to accep. tho pre-.
diction aa even reasonable. To-day 1t Ii
known that this prophecy, like those
that the session would not be extended and
that there would bo no election. was truth.
ful. Gov. Wilson has designated Mr.. Lu.
cas- as tho next Senator, and he will be
commissioned March 4. J ,i IN.
When It was learned this morning thai
Governor Wilson intended 10 appoint Mr.,
Lucaa, 1t created no surprise, ,as 1t had been
generally understood for day or two
that he was his choice for the Senate on
account Of the warm personal friendship
existing between them, and Mr.. Lucas's
acknowledged ability and integrity.
Naturally there was some unfavcrable
critic iams from Mr. Camden's friends, bul
the anti.Camden faction are, or seem
pleased with the selection. This even.
ing's Star in crlticizing tho appointment
says; "Mr. Lucas Is man OF unquestion.
ablo ability and briliancy. Personal poll.ics
must be eliminated from the party and
now is the golden opportunity"
Mr.. Lucas EayB he stands svuarely on
the Democratic platform az expressed in
the Chicago convention on tho tariff issue.
While those opporents OF Mr.. Camden
who remain here accept the appoinsmen.
with good grace, there are many bitter
feelings engendered by the appointment.
The 1NTELLIGENcER has already made
known the poaition Of J. W. St. Clair in
the matter. There are others as bitter.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. switzer
said on the floor Of the joint assembly
that when he became convinced tha. this
movement was in ono msu's interes! he
would return to the majority. His con-
yiction comes too late, but he will doubt
less adopt different policy at the special
session. It is believed by everybody here
that an election will be attempted if the
Governor reconvenes the Legislature, and
it is the general opinion that MIR. Camden
will be elected with little trouble.

Special Dispatch to the IEtlliqeneer.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 2S.-A dig
patch from Charleston was received here
this evening announcing that Govcrno,
Wilson has appointed Hon. D. B. Lucas
to, bs Senator Camden's successor. II
provoked considerable criti,ism among
the anti Camden men. Taey say the a2.
pointment,it it really has been made, ia
not wise. Said one gentleman: 4
"Wilson should have selected some
conservative man from Camden's end Of
the State, or from the Wheeling district,
some one who could draw strength from
Mr.. Camden and his faction. -
"Lucss's appointment will not give sat.
iaiacliou even to tho recalcitrants, and
some OF them will nov DO anxious for an
election at the special session. thought
Wilson was a man OF political sagacity,
but this report, If true, shows him to be
void OF that quality. Lucas is able and
deserving, but hia appointment under the
circumstances would be unwise. 1t would
serve to widen the breach Between the
factions. The wiso course would have
been to conciliate and heal the Ill feeling
by appointing man who would prove to
be an instrument Of peace. This is jim
Mason's view." ~
Gen. Bushroi Price is in the city. He
said to your correspondent that he did not
believe the report from Charleston, and
intimated that he did not think Governor
Wileon would be foolish enough to name
the man Of all others who would be mos!
offensive to the large Camden element in
tho State. The General spoke regretfully
Of the late unpleasantness, but said he
acted conscientiously throughout. The
Camden men declare openly that Mr.
Lucas's appointment is the result OF a pre-.
vious bargain between the Governor and
Lucas. @ q ID
My dispatch last night regarding the
movement to contest the seat Of the Gov.
eruor's appointee is confirmed to-day by
further Developments, and the argument
that the Governor has not the constitu

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-War is brewing
bstween the two Houses OF Congress.
Members Of the Senate Committee On
Appropriations, who ara usually very
guarded in their utterances, make no con-
cealment of their opinion that an extra
aetsion is now almost inevitable, nor do
they hesitate to place the blame where
they think it belongs.
At a meeting Of the Senate Committee
OIL Appropriations this morning eyery
member, Democrats alike with Republi-
Gang, expressed the utmost displeasure at
the manner in which the House had held
back the appropriation bills, and their
wrath was visited without stint 1pon tho
head Of tho House Committee. They de-
clared that they have grown weary OF tho
practice Of the House in taking monsbs
Tor work which the Senate has been forced
to do over again in few hours; that it
was an uaurpation OF rights, Gnd was un.
fair. They expressed the belief, further,
that this was propitious occasion ior
teaching the House a lesson. ,5g.,s ID
It is believed by many that if an. extra
session ia avoided it will DO by the passage
Of joint resolutions extending some Of tbs
regular appropriations and permitting the
Houss bills to die. G.,s., .l,s,.g-.
As to the condition Of business Mr.. Hale
said, see but one result from the position
in which tho Senate is placed by the pre-
meditated delay on the part Of the House
the other day aud that result must clearly
bo what I think nine men out OF ten dep.
